My mother announced my pregnancy in Amsterdam before I did.
Family · New York
Side A (age 43)
I told one person. Within 11 hours it had been said out loud in Amsterdam to everyone. It was the one piece of news I wanted to give in my own words and I never got to.
Side B (age 49)
I was told in a room full of family with nobody asking me to keep it quiet. I assumed the announcement had already happened. I'd have said nothing if anyone had said the word "secret".
